Continuing Education Award

The Murdoch University Office of Continuing Veterinary Education instituted this Award in 1987. The Award enables subscribers to the Office of Continuing Veterinary Education to attend a conference or undertake a study project in a special area of interest. The Award recognises that often subscribers are not in a financial position to travel to conferences or set up projects. The Award is valued at $1,250 and has proved very popular.
